Instructor political contributions from Oregon

Instructor and Oregon as a high-repeat teaching-string join

Occupation INSTRUCTOR and donor state OR together sum to $183,097, 2,059 contributions, and 35 donors. The occupation hub is $5,514,850, 46,555 contributions, and 1,277 donors. Oregon's share of dollars is 3.3%; of contributions, 4.4% (2,059 of 46,555); of donors, 2.7% (35 of 1,277).

Thirty-five Oregon donors produced 2,059 itemized rows — a high-repeat cell against 46,555 national Instructor contributions. Mean itemized dollars per Oregon donor in this cell are $5,231; mean per contribution are $89. Those averages are arithmetic on the three packet counts, not typical-gift medians, and they are not evidence of a typical Instructor paycheck.

The leftover $5,331,753 is Instructor-coded money from every other state combined on this extract. Adding other occupation strings that sound similar would invent a combined total the FEC file does not publish as one cell. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT, if used, sit in other occupation hubs.

INSTRUCTOR versus TEACHER as separate FEC labels

INSTRUCTOR is the occupation string on this page. Neighboring labels are not rolled in. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. The national hub remains $5,514,850 from 1,277 donors and 46,555 contributions even when a reader expects a broader professional category.

Oregon's 2,059 contributions are 4.4% of national Instructor rows; 35 donors are 2.7%; dollars are 3.3%. Row share and dollar share need not match. A few large itemized gifts can lift dollars while a high-repeat pattern lifts rows. This extract does not publish a median.

Thirty-five Oregon Instructor donors

Mean Oregon Instructor itemized dollars per donor are $5,231, versus $4,319 nationally for the occupation. That gap is a ratio of packet totals, not a finding about Oregon wages or Instructor compensation.

Thirty-five Oregon donors produced 2,059 itemized rows — a high-repeat cell against 46,555 national Instructor contributions. Unique-donor counts can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Treat 35 as an aggregate, not a person-level audit.

A teaching string is not a license board file

This page does not measure a TSPC license extract, a university faculty census, or a K-12 headcount, and it does not claim that Instructor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

INSTRUCTOR fragments against sibling strings. Those strings, if used, never enter the $5,514,850 or the $183,097. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Oregon dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Instructor dollars outside Oregon

Subtract the Oregon dollars on this page from the national Instructor occupation total and the difference is $5,331,753 still coded Instructor in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Instructor donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Oregon campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Oregon dollars, or only the Instructor national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Or instructor high-repeat overlap is the unit: INSTRUCTOR × OR = $183,097.

Read the three Oregon counts as one cell: $183,097 dollars, 2,059 contributions, 35 donors. Read the three national Instructor counts as the other: $5,514,850, 46,555, 1,277. Percentages (3.3% of dollars, 4.4% of rows, 2.7% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Thirty-five Oregon donors produced 2,059 itemized rows — a high-repeat cell against 46,555 national Instructor contributions.

Related tables for Instructor and Oregon

Instructor donations holds the $5,514,850 national occupation total and the 1,277-donor count. Oregon campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to OR. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $183,097, 2,059 contributions, and 35 donors together.

Oregon educator licenses are not matched to the INSTRUCTOR string. This is not a TSPC license extract, a university faculty census, or a K-12 headcount.

Is Instructor the same FEC bucket as Teacher or Professor?

Oregon holds 3.3% of the $5,514,850 occupation total ($183,097). Oregon also accounts for 4.4% of contributions (2,059 of 46,555) and 2.7% of donors (35 of 1,277). INSTRUCTOR is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Sibling labels are other hubs.

Does Oregon as donor state mean Oregon school districts?

No. Donor state is Oregon. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $183,097 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 2,059 contributions and 35 donors are the INSTRUCTOR-and-OR overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
